  My (now ex) wife, had a no.3 talk to give one night and her and I had been rubbed up the wrong way by one of the loving elders recent to that, anyway she started the talk and then stopped and looked upset, and the sister with her was rubbing her leg going its alright, and it looked like it was part of the role play. I knew it wasnt and stood up concerned and when she started crying I went to get her. Another sister (someone who would later leave the faith) came out the back with us and found out it was partly down to this elder's attitude. Well she gives him (the elder) a right going over after the meeting we found out later in front of everyone. To his credit her rang my wife to see if she was ok and what was up, to which she repied 'you are the problem'.

  p.s. I also once played the wrong song at the kingdom hall and instead of finding the right one I left it playing, hehe.

  Justitia, most likely that lady will get tired of acting that way. We had two cases like that when I was a teenager. Sadly, these are likely to be disturbed people who are crying out for help, and as they (obviously, what else can you expect from the WT untrained moral police?) get ignored in the kingdumb hell they eventually desist. what a sad situation overall.

  Atpeaceatlast, I feel for your loss. You should be proud of yourself that you followed your common sense and natural love and did not rat out on this poor soul.

  Respectfully,

  I had never been to a kingdom hall and went on a Wednesday night wearing nice blue jeans with a very nice sweater. The looks I received from the brothers was just incredible, so I left and never bothered to come back. The next time a very nice sister came knocking on my door I had been speaking to for months I told her I was not ever going to be a JW. I don't wear ties, sorry JW's.

  Atpeaceatlast, that was a sad story about your friend. Thankyou for sharing it.
  
  FourMs, the story of your cousin off his meds is funny! Oh well it happens. Not his fault.
  But the C.O. story is GREAT!!!!! "JESUS CHRIST!!!!" Ha ha ha ha hahaha! That one made me laugh out loud!
  
  Yeah I did some mountain territory with two elders back in the 70s. The elder driving was REAL PROUD of his Lincoln Continental with the suicide doors. I was freshly baptized at the time and I didnt know what suicide doors were. When my door wasnt closed properly I opened it on the FREEWAY!!!!
  
  "GODDAMNIT!!! DONT EVER OPEN THOSE DOORS WHILE THE CAR IS MOVING!!!!" he barked from the driver's seat.
  
  
  I dont remember much after that. I was traumatized and just wanted to go home.

  kwr, that was pathetic! Im even embarrassed for some reason reading your story about being shunned because of your clothing! Its appalling unchristian treatment that an invitee should be received in that fashion by a group that calls itself "The Truth". Sorry.
  
  But I guess they did you a favor in the long run!!!

  A story of mercy at the hands of Jehovah's spirit appointed servants.

  I was about 9 or 10 years old. After the meeting me and a few other fine Christian youths were hanging out at the far edge of the K Hall property. It was a cliff about 30 feet above the main road. On a dare, I threw a big dirt clod down towards an oncoming car. I'm not sure if it hit the car or just splattered in front of it because I took off running as soon as I threw it.

  Well, the driver comes storming up to the K Hall wanting to strangle whichever fine little piece of Christianity is responsible for throwing it. I had never felt that degree of terror in my heart, my Dad being an elder and all. I told a MS that was outside that I did it and begged him not to rat me out.

  Guess what? He didn't. And none of the other kids gave me up either. That was probably the beginning of many "double life" moments for me.

  Not proud of it. Just sharing.
